provided by Tarun Adlakha.
This month, Tarun Adlakha (who is from India), will speak about pareidolia and the wonderful world of Indian Dendritic agates. Tarun is known to have the finest
hoard of natural dendritic agate in the world with over 300,000 cabochons and specimens, some of which have been displayed at prestigious gem shows and museums around the globe and used by some leading designers. Tarun has accumulated a large number of stones with unusual patterns mimicking birds, animals, landscapes and mythical characters in a sort of fantasy wonderland in agate. His talk will focus on the history, mining, and cutting of these agates followed by a descriptive slide show of the unusual stones from his collection.
